Today, as I sit on my back porch soaking in the Spring weather during my 14-day self-quarantine, I ran across a Facebook ad that quickly caught my attention. Even though I wasn’t planning to look for a new job until at least May, I couldn’t help but open the ad. The ad was for a…

Almost Stuck in Greece
A little over a week ago, I was torn between going to Greece at a time when the Coronavirus was getting serious, and staying home to be safe. I have tried to live by the theory that life is short, and you never know when you’ll have another chance to do something. The virus is…
Greece
March 9, 2020:It was a rainy day in Athens, but that didn’t stop me from seeing the Acropolis, the Parthenon, and the Panathenaic Stadium (host of the first modern Olympics in 1896). I even got to break plates after dinner! March 12, 2020:Little known fact: I’m a HUGE fan of the Olympic Games! Once every…
20/20 Vision
Have you ever lost your vision? I recently had temporary vision issues while traveling, and even though it was short, it was still scary. Due to a new prescription that I was taking for motion sickness, my vision was extremely blurry and I was unable to read anything for about 36 hours. Thankfully, the pharmacist…
It’s a bird…..it’s a plane…..it’s a drone!
On several occasions over the summer, the subject of drone videography kept popping up. This intrigued me, and prompted me to start researching drones and the types of businesses you can get into with them. I’ve learned about flying as a hobbyist, versus flying as a commercial pilot. I’ve researched FAA rules and the steps…
What I’ve Learned From Hallmark Movies
If you’ve watched more than one Hallmark movie, then you know that they are almost the same and you know that the ending is predictable. Most people probably even say that the movies are unrealistic. Because after all, how many people can say they found love after spending two days at home for Christmas? I…
Six Month Update
I can’t believe that it’s already been six months since I left the corporate world. I continue to get asked what I have been doing over the past six months, so I put together this video containing some of the stats. This is only a portion of what I have done since May, but it’s…
Flying Solo
It’s an odd feeling to be the only single person on a group tour of 43 people. But then again, I should be used to that feeling since it seems like I’m always the odd-man-out. It’s not that I dislike that feeling, but just something I know well. I knew going into this trip that…
Even The Beach Is Exhausting!
Towards the end of my previous trip to Oregon and Washington, I was so exhausted from the amount of activities that I had packed into 11 days that I couldn’t wait for my beach vacation. I was looking forward to an easy week at the beach, and while the beach was still easy and relaxing,…
My GPS Has a First Name, But It’s Not O-S-C-A-R!
Years ago, I decided that my GPS needed a name. After all, it was easier to yell at it for giving me wrong directions if it had a name. Am I right? Surely, I’m not the only one who gives my GPS a name! So anyway. I thought it would be cool if GPS was…
